FRPLG
Given to me by the biggest fattest funniest sonofabitch I knew in high school.
I am a short guy but was a pretty mean backyard football player back in the day. I used to play a modified kill shot safety ala Sean Taylor without actually being you know black, tall, fast, or super athletic. Otherwise I was the spitting image though. But I digress. Anyways I used to do things like club WRs in the head who were running the sideline so I could push them out of bounds(in our rules when a guy went out of bounds he was done for the play) or trip a guy in the middle of a crossing route. Usually everyone took such gestures in the competitive manner in which they were meant except when we would chest up and find some rival neighborhood team. Usually in such cases the meeting of the minds would meet before the game to sync up the often conflicting neighborhood rules and we always got our out of bounds deal included. First time I'd club a guy in the head usually started a mini-tussle. Next time I tripped a guy there might be a actual throw down. Somehow I always came out with no bruises while other's had bloody noses and such though. Lucky me I guess. :cool-smil The games would usually continue and I'd clean it up but WRs were always waiting for me to do something and that took most out of the game. Anways to make this now long story short our big fat funny enforcer guy (bffeg) once said I was like a short nasty firey plug. I guess he meant fire plug but we all laughed and it stuck enough to become FRPLG since fireplug was taken when I got my first AOL name back in the day.

P.S. bffeg was also maybe one of the best guys I have ever known. One of the few people I wish I was still in touch with. He did have a tragic mental flaw though. Hailing from NY he was a major Giants fan. Given time I would have converted him I believe. He was a smart dude and smart dudes don't get gaga over the Giants. They look for winners like the Skins baby.

True story: In a project In english he and I actually taught our honors English class how to play a classic '85 Chicago Bears 4-6 defense. We chose a neutral team rather than duke it out over our own teams. Funniest day I have seen watching 16 year girls with zippy clue trying to cover bffeg simulating Walter Payton. Almost peed my pants. I played Ditka.
